I think if Gallagher, Lacey, Rushton and Emilsson can stay fit for (most of) the season we have a bloody good chance of doing well. All four are still quite young, especially the two midfielders (Lacey and Gallagher) so should progress well.

I think my initial wage budget was around £1200 per week but I can't remember for sure. Crowds are bigger now though, hence having a larger budget.

My next session will be tomorrow evening so I'll be able to fill in player of the year and best xi then.

Good luck with this. The relegation was unfortunate - that second season syndrome can be a killer - but at least you bounced back up. Not that I'm getting ahead of myself, but it would be fantastic to see a team such as Newcastle Town in the Premiership .

A great start - four wins out of our first five sees only Northwich ahead of us. Come game ten and we are the first team to take points off them this season. The 2-0 home win closes the gap down to four.
Our form continues into Winter but it is tight up top with eight clubs vying for position.
An injury hit holiday period doesn't stop our progress and we're just top heading into the New Year.
But we then start slipping as injuries and a tough schedule which sees us beat two Conference South teams away in the FA Trophy before narrowly being defeated at a Conference Premier team begins to take it's toll.
And we get edged out.

Tough luck missing out on the Playoffs Nobby. But a good season overall. Should set you up nicely as a real promotion contender next season.

Ouch, I see my Stags got relegated.

Thanks Tom. I have no money to strengthen the squad, but I have a solid team anyway given this season's performance. And with Northwich and Altrincham out of the way, in terms of club size only Boston United stand out above the rest now, as the teams coming down are all of similar size to the rest of us in the league.

Progress on this save is unfortunately going to slow down over the next few months. On Saturday I will be going skiing (pending booking last minute) and then when I come back and go back to work, we will have started extending and refitting the shop I manage, which is going to lead to many long working days until it is completed in early to mid August.

I'll still play, it just won't be as often. And I don't get to play as often as I would like to now!

2016/7 - Newcastle Town (Northern Premier League Premier Division)It's where end of season form counts

Board: Playoffs
Media: 5th
Bookies: 14-1
Season tickets: 95 (up 3)

Start very well and we top the table early doors. We also make some progress in the FA Cup.
Into November and we hump leaders Bradford Park Avenue 5-0 to go back to the top. Things are looking very good.
Then we get hit by injuries again, this time in November and December. We manage to stay in the top three.
Things slip in the New Year as Bradford Park Avenue pull clear, though we cling on.
We improve, though the top two are now too far clear. We are bang on form as we make the playoffs, having won the last four and unbeaten in thirteen.
We dispatch Witton 2-0 at Wincham Park in the semi final, before outplaying AFC Fylde in front of a record crowd at Lyme Valley to again win 2-0.

Just got home from golfing and wanted to say good luck in the BSN. I think you can compete with it; it's often got a fairly wide spread of ability top to bottom, since not enough teams exit out the bottom each year, IIRC.

We shall see. Despite doing well the last two seasons, we need to be more potent in front of goal in Conference North.

TEW is along the lines of Football Manager but instead of managing a football club, you either own to manage a wrestling promotion.

TEW is a blast from the past..I used to play that years ago. It was really basic back then and you'd only get the show / event results after organising the card and storylines. What's it like these days?

It is a lot more advanced these days and has far more depth... though the results are of similar nature, fairly basic.

If memory serves me correct, all features are fully active and you get one game month of play. Like FM, if you like the game, the save file can be transferred to the full game.

Congrats on the promotion Nobby! Great career so far...what attracted me to it funnily enough was the fact that you got relegated!! I like seeing threads where people aren't just winning everything in site!

We kick off our first ever game at level 6 at Droylsden and come away with a creditable 2-2 draw.
Our first win comes in game four, a 1-0 victory at Kidderminster.
We get into a groove, helped by a fine cup run and push into the playoffs. We even win 2-1 at leaders FC Halifax.
Into the New Year though and our form dips.
We rediscover our form and start shooting back up the table.
A strong run puts us in contention for the sole automatic promotion place but Fleetwood seal it with a game left.

The semi finals see us beat Barrow 2-0 away and 1-0 at home, which sets up a final between the North of Staffordshire and the South.
